On Thursday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that he plans on dropping annual challenges and will focus on longer-term goals for the next decade.
A few of the things that Zuckerberg wants to work on include a new private social platform, generational issues, decentralised technology and new forms of digital governance.
This shift is one that makes him focus more on his CEO role tackling problems afflicting Facebook as compared to personal goal achievement like learning Mandarin and reading two books a month.
Zuckerberg states that rather than having yearly challenges, he would much rather focus on achieving things which he sees in the world and his life in 2030.
Facebook has been under pressure for its inability to police content and to maintain user privacy. Zuckerberg hopes that governments shall come up with clearer internet rules over the next decade.
He plans to fund and offer a platform to young scientists and entrepreneurs to cure, prevent and manage diseases.
Zuckerberg pointed out that while the internet allowed individuals to connect on a global level, people cannot help but crave intimacy. He shall attempt to create a social infrastructure to reconstruct smaller communities to restore the sense of intimacy.
